Trusted Travel Devices Equipped with On-The-Fly Monitoring

2. The mobile device of claim 1, wherein at least one of the start device confiscation time and the end device confiscation time is determined by user command.

3. The mobile device of claim 1, wherein whether the mobile device passes the threshold distance is determined, at least in part, by calculating a distance between the mobile device and a second mobile device located on the user.

4. The mobile device of claim 1, wherein whether the mobile device passes the threshold distance is determined, at least in part, by calculating a travel time following removal of the mobile device from the person of the user until the motion of the device ceases.

5. The mobile device of claim 1 wherein the flagging of the anomalous device condition comprises providing a visual indication on the mobile device of the occurrence of the anomalous device condition.

6. The mobile device of claim 1 wherein the anomalous device condition corresponds to installation of a snooping application on the mobile device.

7. The mobile device of claim 1 wherein the anomalous device condition corresponds to installation of a wire-tapping application on the mobile device.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein at least one of the start device confiscation time and the end device confiscation time is determined by user command.

11. The method of claim 9 further comprising determining the threshold distance, at least in part, by calculating a distance between the mobile device and a second mobile device located on the user.

12. The method of claim 9 further comprising determining the threshold distance, at least in part, by calculating a travel time following removal of the mobile device from the person of the user until the motion of the device ceases for a pre-determined amount of time.

13. The method of claim 12 further comprising determining whether the mobile device returns within the threshold distance by calculating a proximity of the mobile device to the person of the user.

14. The method of claim 9 wherein the flagging the anomalous device condition further comprises providing a visual indication on the mobile device of the occurrence of the anomalous activity.

15. The method of claim 9 wherein the anomalous activity corresponds to installation of a snooping application on the mobile device.

16. The method of claim 9 wherein the anomalous activity corresponds to installation of a wire-tapping application on the mobile device.

17. The method of claim 9 further comprising executing a post-confiscation time application for determining whether the anomalous activity occurred between the start device confiscation time and the end device confiscation time.
